Levels, soft light layer (at a low opacity), color curves (photoshop elements), and hue/sat. As needed, I dodge and burn and I almost always use that tool on eyes to make them pop.

Curves and dodge/burn to lighten dark areas. I also use the 'fix' in CS4 to fix blemishes if needed. I downloaded a bunch of free actions from Pioneer Woman and also from MCP and those are great!

I haven't done any editing in a while, but usually the tool I use most is contrast.

on picnik i use cross process.

Crop mainly, and sometimes sharpening & slightly increase the contrast. Dont tend to use much :-)

tone curve, saturation, contrast, exposure and vigniette

oh and i'm using lightroom 3

I use lightroom presets alot. I also adjust the exposure, vibrance, and clarity. Does anyone know how to operate the soft focus or if there is an airbrush effect in lightroom?

unsharp mask mostly, plus hue/saturation

auto tone, auto contrast, auto color

Auto levels and auto colour (not all the time - sometimes I don't like what the auto things do), brightness/contrast, and adjusting colour balance/selective colour to really bring things out. :)

Occasionally I'll add a Lighten (if the black is too harsh) or a Darken (if the whites are too bright) layer.

^ Photoshop CS3.

(And, on rare occasions, Curves, although I prefer using brightness/contrast as I feel I have more control over it.)

On Picnik.com I use cross process, adjustable threshold and overlay.

I mess around with exposure and brightness also

picnik.com I use vibrance, curves, bw, cross process...and whatever else I discover as a result of 365 sharings!

Curves, levels, hue/saturation and unsharp mask.
